My father special ordered the car and drove it until 1974, when it was put into storage with about 160k on the clock. I fixed it up a little and drove it in high school, then put it away again until a more thorough restoration was started back in 1994. It's been slow going so far mostly due to the car being stuck at a body shop that kept putting off working on the car. The car is now at a new shop and things are happening at a good pace. I hope to have the car completed within the next year or so.

Welcome to Team Camaro. That is one nice Camaro and the history behind it is priceless. I restored my Dad's 68 Camaro. He took delivery on January 9, 1968.
Please keep us posted with additional pictures showing your progress.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. The history of the car has really hit me lately. After being born, I was brought home from the hospital in this car. My father is now 83 years old, and he has expressed his desire to see the car completed. We are both glad to be back on track with this project. We talk almost daily about it.

I still have the hitch and the trailer wiring! My father used to tow a pop-up camper and his old wooden Tomahawk boat with it.

Welcome to the Club, Jeff. Good story and pictures. Family heirloom now.

Here is the hitch:

I'm not sure right now what I'm going to do about pictures. The majority of the mechanical restoration work was done back before I had a digital camera, and almost all of my restored parts have now been packed and are at the restoration shop. The shop is supposed to be taking digital progress pictures of the body restoration. I'm not sure which area of the forum would be best for posting progress pictures - any suggestions?

Here are a few recent picstures.

Here's a picture from "back in the day" when I was about 17 and driving the car regularly:

I'm in East Granby. Pretty quiet here too.

Wow, I hope that car goes to your Son too. Man, your Father looks 63 not 83
What a cool project with all the history.
